NOAA’s polar, geostationary, and deep space orbiting spacecraft and the need for international partnership.

A telescopic image of the Sun zoomed to fill the screen. Colored a false green to identify the image as taken at a wavelength of 94 Angstroms to show 6 million degree plasma from the solar corona. Mottled with bright spots and dark regions, a bright spot just right of center stands out. This spot is the location of a solar flare which heats coronal plasma to millions of degrees revealing the magnetic field loops responsible for the solar flare.

Cool 600,000 degree Kelvin plasma from Fe IX revealing the quiet solar corona. Seen are cool magnetic fields in the atmosphere and on-disk is revealed the solar polar coronal holes at the top and bottom of the image.

An image of the ‘active’ corona as seen in 1,500,000 degree plasma at 195 Angstroms. Bright regions illustrate higher densities of hot plasma and dark regions indicate a paucity of hot plasma. The large bright areas are active regions which are…

Six (6) million degree plasma (Fe XVIII; 94 Angstrom) from the solar corona imaged by the NOAA SUVI instrument on the GOES satellites. The bright central spot shows hot coronal loops associated with a solar flare.

Visible light emission from the solar corona captures the erupting loops of a coronal mass ejection.

A telescopic image of the Sun, with a disk blocking the direct light from the Sun to reveal the faint, low density, solar corona, or atmosphere, falsely colored red. Seen stretching radially from the Sun are coronal streamers, areas of higher density. On the lower right, are arches of erupting magnetic field loops organized into a Coronal Mass Ejection, seen erupting outward from the Sun.
